Recenzii

“Irish music and dance, and indeed the broader questions of Irish identity in a global world, have recently experienced enormous flux and change. Close to the Floor is an invaluable collection of responses from those intimately connected to that process, either as practitioners or knowledgeable commentators. Their views will provide stimulation to the current reader and potent illumination for future inquiry.”—Bill Whelan, composer of “Riverdance”
